How does conveyancing in Shrewsbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shrewsbury contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Shrewsbury usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Shrewsbury or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Shrewsbury is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Shrewsbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shrewsbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shrewsbury may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Is it best to use a Shrewsbury conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the legal work however they are based 400kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Shrewsbury conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Shrewsbury know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Shrewsbury conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Shrewsbury based.
I am attracted to a couple of flats in Shrewsbury both have in the region of 50 years left on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
